What keeps you going?

What keeps you going? This is a fun one? What keeps you getting out of bed and attaining your goals and dreams. This one has been really tough for me. All my life I have been into health coaching and trying to make the world a livelier place. Sometimes I feel like it’s unattainable. Like it’s meant for other people and not me.

This really sucks. I mean really sucks. I just want to go after my own goals and dreams and not let other people or their opinions get in the way. But it’s the anxiety and the fear of what they think and the fear of what will happen if what they say comes true. I feel like I have given into other people’s opinions my whole life. I let what other people say brainwash me and let me down. I don’t fight for what I believe in because I haven’t seen it happen yet and I haven’t seen miracles appear before my eyes.

I feel like I’ve waited. I’ve waited for someone to tell me it’s alright, it’s okay, you will make it anyway. We are looking for the one person to lead the way for us. I know I have. I have used Instagram, Facebook, nutritionists, and YouTube superstars to make me believe again in my goals and dreams and myself. I feel like we all need a little inspiration from time to time. Some motivational quote to keep us going when we feel low and downtrodden. Something to believe in when we feel like all is lost. These things exist for a reason and there are too many people out there that invalidate our dreams and our goals and we let them.

I grew up this way. No one really believing in me and commending me for who I was and who I am. There are people out that that want to be on your side and do care about your goals and dreams. I hope you find them and keep them around. The naysayers are just being who they are because that’s how they were raised and their dreams and goals go crushed along the way. It’s up to us to make it work and prioritize our lives for the better. To show others going after what you want is okay. There are people out there you don’t even know exist that are rooting for you and want what’s best for you. So keep at it, better days are yet to come.
